This place is a gem! From the moment you walk in, you can see how happy & healthy all the cats are. Their coats are incredibly shiny & smooth, a real testament to how much the owner cares. Paired with a great cup of tea in such a cozy setting, it made for a perfect, relaxing visit. Highly recommend!
A really well maintained cat cafe! There are tons of toys & structures for the cats, plenty of varied seating for customers, a wide menu, & merch!
It gets very crowded here but the cats are very good at handling all the people & noise. Some cats manage to sleep even with all the activity happening around them.

Super great vibe! Had a delicious sandwich (goat cheese, squash & Walnut, would 100% reccomend) & a nice pumpkin spice latte that had latte art, friendly cats, creates a really cute atmosphere between the clients, it was nice to laugh at the cats being silly with strangers. Friendly staff, quick service & nice decor!
The cats are few & hiding. It was filled with students hugging the tables with their laptops consuming nothing, we were lucky to get a place. We went for lunch, the food is good but the portions are extra small. We left the cafe & all had something to eat at Costco right after.
Adorable cat café in Verdun. It's also a shelter for cats it's a foster home until they find their forever home. You adopt a cat/kitten on their website, submit an application & they will call you for an interview & then keep you posted whether or not you can adopt. Amazing staff very friendly.
Cute little cafe with delicious sandwiches & coffee. A breakfast sandwich & an iced coffee came out to less than 10$. There are a ton of cats roaming around the cafe, starting to believe they are the actual owners of this place. Staff is super friendly as well. Highly recommend just passing by to grab a quick coffee & pet a few cats/kittens
If you are a cat lover, you will love this place. I find it hard to get work done here because you want to pet all the cats. Or play with them. I went in awaiting for my car, it was nice & quiet, not too much people. I stay for several hours before I left, I found the early afternoon it start to fill. Food was very good & so was the coffee.
Staff is very helpful, kind & considerate. They have wifi while you are there if you.
The cats had all changed since the first time I was there. I was happy to know they were up for adoption. You can get to know your car before you, adoption them & bring them home
There are lots of souvenirs you can buy to help support the cats that living there at the moment.
Went with family, best experience at an independent café. The cats were incredibly friendly & at one point I had three come & settle down next to me. Baked goods were delicious, & they don't over sweeten their tea. Was pleasantly surprised by a very cuddly cat waiting in the bathroom. Very chill vibe, will absolutely be visiting again.
